Day 1

Busy weekend and end of week ahead. Work has been busy. I played basketball at the UO Rec Center for the first time since Christmas break in Washington with my bro and Shane. Every part of my body is sore, and I'm ecstatic. Rumor has it we'll be playing Friday night as well. I hope this works out.

So, Friday night basketball didn't work out. My new friend Niels went awol. Just finished The Mutiny on the Bounty (1935, 7.0/10), which finishes a week full of early Best Picture Oscar winners, starting with the first, the silent Wings (1927, 6.0/10) and including The Broadway Melody (1929, 6.2/10). Thus far I've been underwhelmed, though I found Mutiny on the Bounty to be rather entertaining. Apparently Charles Laughton was known for saying that modern actors give you a photograph and real actors give you an oil painting. He fell into the latter grouping indeed.

Now on to Visconti movied, The Damned.

I will be internetless for a bit, trying to get my finances lined up properly. Please be patient. :)

Haiti, Egypt, Wisconsin, Japan, and now Libya. What a crazy past year this has been. So much going on in the world. Time names their person of the year, while the whole world is burning, and there are many more important things going on.

Personally, I have been trying very hard to break through and become a more organized person, typically in baby steps.

A DAy of Cleaning

Today, I clean. I clean, I organize, I prepare, I push through.

It's 630am on Saturday. Somehow this feels great. Looking forward to a long weekend of productivity.

Lots of things happening

A friend is coming Saturday, I'm riding my bike all over the place like a madman, and I have so much cleaning to do that it isn't even funny! Well, it kinda is, just because its preposterous and nearly impossible. hahaha.

Bout to head to the showers to start my day. Going to meet my friend Jenny for coffee and pick up a few things while downtown. Gotta be back in time for pats/jets :)
